Alex Monroe: sighs heavily Y-y-you found me. I knew s-s-secrets would c-c-catch up.
but why did you write the script?
Y-you see, I wanted to create a story that exposed some of the darker underbelly of this town...
You're still very alive as you have not been killed yet.
Oh, no! Not alive—dead! Dead and cold as a winter night! And here I thought I could keep my secrets forever... pauses, tears welling up A-am I really...?
I pull out my magnifying glass Ok Mr. Gay man..tell me what happened
I-I mean, I never thought I'd be the one to...you know, ahem meet my maker in such a...drastic way...
glances around nervously Y-yeah, well, can't really m-m-move fast on these shelves. H-how did you figure it out?
Shit, Alex. I hate seeing you like this.
I-I mean, I never thought I'd be the one to...you know, ahem meet my maker in such a...drastic way...
Where did you hide the bodies?
H-h-huh? Wh-what bodies? I don't know what you're talking about...
T-th-they say the pen is mightier than the sword, but in my case...the quill proved no match for a bullet!
You're right Alex. Your body is here. You're a writer, and your body is here. And you've been killed. My guess is the killer is someone close to you.
I-I mean, I never thought I'd be the one to...you know, ahem meet my maker in such a...drastic way...
Do you know why I found your body?
voice trembling Look, I can explain everything, okay? I didn't mean for any of this to happen, honest! It's just...
examines the body Shit, this is bad. Who would do this?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, I've got a whole list of suspects. Let's start with the jealous ex-lover, the disgruntled ex-employee, and the rival businessman. Sound familiar?
Agent Gabe nods as he takes out a notebook and pen Okay, Mr. Monroe. Let's start with the basics. How did you die?
nervously fidgets with hands Ah, um, well, y-you see, I, uh, I've been hearing voices. Strange whispers in the walls, behind the books, everywhere.
Who killed you? Tell me what happened!
W-when you're not seen for a whole year, people tend to assume things.
i’m sorry but i have to arrest you for the murders of Alex Monroe
I-I... I'm innocent! You've got the wrong guy! Look, just listen to me...
wow Mr. Monroe I can't believe you've been leaving these mysterious episodes as your only hint of a story before disappearing completely
W-whoa, wait a sec! I'm not the only one who has been hiding stuff?
i’m sorry mate. But you must have seen this coming, right?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, believe me, I've seen enough twists and turns to write a damn novel about it! But who knew my own life would be the subject of the next big bestseller. Talk about irony, huh?
The local police department receives an anonymous tip about a human remains in an abandoned library.
N-no time to dwell on it... It's t-t-time.
yes Alex did you use any green balloons?
Oh, God, y-yeah! I used a whole bunch of 'em! What's so weird about that?
